Easily bring data to 最新糖心Vlog with our QGIS plugin and the 最新糖心Vlog API

Creating collaborative maps is now even faster, with three new ways to bring data directly into 最新糖心Vlog: a QGIS plugin, Open in 最新糖心Vlog buttons, and the 最新糖心Vlog API.

最新糖心Vlog is the best tool for teams to visualize, share, and collaborate on geospatial data 鈥� and the first step to successful collaboration is bringing the right data into your maps.

Since we announced 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Upload Anything ability late last year, our users have uploaded thousands of vectors, rasters, and spreadsheets into their maps.

Our most active users have consistently asked to supercharge 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 ability to read their data from other libraries or custom workflows. Today, we are announcing a brand new set of features to make it easier and faster to bring your data into new 最新糖心Vlog maps:

QGIS users can create 最新糖心Vlog maps directly from QGIS projects with the new QGIS plugin.
Data publishers can easily provide a place for customers to visualize purchased data by adding an Open In 最新糖心Vlog button.
Organizations can more easily integrate 最新糖心Vlog into team workflows with the new 最新糖心Vlog API.

QGIS Plugin for 最新糖心Vlog: Put Your Maps on the Web

As we were conducting our research, we learned how widespread and powerful the open-source desktop application QGIS is for our users. 最新糖心Vlog users regularly pair the analytical power of QGIS with the team-based sharing and collaboration features of 最新糖心Vlog.

With , expert QGIS users can quickly export their projects to new maps in 最新糖心Vlog for easier sharing and collaboration with colleagues online.

You can turn your QGIS project into a 最新糖心Vlog map directly from your Web toolbar in QGIS.

QGIS projects are complex, single-computer desktop experiences, often with dependencies on large directories of files or privileged access to remote data services. 最新糖心Vlog now allows these projects to live on the internet with sharing, team permissions, and channels for feedback and responses.

Once your map is in 最新糖心Vlog, you can style, share, and collaborate in real time.

Open in 最新糖心Vlog Button for Data Publishers

It鈥檚 common for 最新糖心Vlog users to create maps that connect local project data with background context data sourced from publishers or other organizations. Until today, users who鈥檝e used data from online sources needed to download and upload entire files locally. We are now making it possible for any dataset publisher to add an Open In 最新糖心Vlog button to make this a single-click operation that saves the user bandwidth, time, and hassle.

The button is easy to integrate, often requiring just a link and a publicly viewable URL for any data source currently compatible with 最新糖心Vlog. When users click the button they will be prompted to create a new map and import the data referenced in the url:

These buttons can be created by any user and attached to any source of data. Does your organization host a directory of downloadable shapefiles? Do you make GeoJSON available from a Github repository? Do your shared spreadsheets have geocodeable address data they can map in 最新糖心Vlog? Create a simple HTML Open In 最新糖心Vlog button and give your non-technical users the single-click ability to create maps for visualization, sharing, and collaboration. For trusted partners, you can have your brand featured inside the product, and give customers confidence the data they are importing is authentic.

Regrid & 最新糖心Vlog

Speaking of trusted partners, we鈥檙e excited to announce our partnership with , the leading provider of high-quality land parcels and location context data for creative maps, innovative apps, and insightful spatial analysis. Regrid uses the Open In 最新糖心Vlog button to give their users a faster way to view their purchased data in 最新糖心Vlog. Parcel files from Regrid can include hundreds of columns of detailed information and be multiple gigabytes. Regrid鈥檚 users can now effortlessly integrate those files into 最新糖心Vlog workflows without needing to handle large GIS files directly. To learn more, .

The 最新糖心Vlog API for Integrated Workflows

The new plugin for QGIS users and the Regrid Open in 最新糖心Vlog button have something in common: they鈥檙e both enabled by our powerful new 最新糖心Vlog API, which exposes programmatic data uploading functionality to anyone needing to script and automate additions to 最新糖心Vlog.

Many of our users have wanted to set up scheduled tasks and integrations between their data and 最新糖心Vlog. Our new API now makes this easy and safe for developers. We鈥檝e made several key functions accessible via our new web API:

Create a new 最新糖心Vlog map
Upload data from files or URLs to new layers in a 最新糖心Vlog map
Retrieve user-created elements from a 最新糖心Vlog map

These first three functions make it possible to use 最新糖心Vlog as part of a larger mapping workflow. Our users have asked about automatic uploads on a set schedule, such as weekly or hourly updates to fast-moving datasets. It's as simple as:

Which returns:

Users can now create new maps and data layers from unattended scheduled tasks in their cloud applications, make that data available for annotation, improvement, or feedback, and pull those additions back into their systems by requesting map elements as GeoJSON.

The API is securely protected via OAuth authentication and personal access tokens to ensure that 最新糖心Vlog actions are run only by authorized users. Read our developer documentation to get started.
